RichB Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 If you add in part finished (or part started) models, I must have getting on for 50, some going back to the early eighties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have 1) Great Planes Ryan STA 2) Lanier Giles 202 3)Sterling PT19 4) Coverrite Gee Be model D 5) Guillow Ju87 6) Balsa Craft Monocoupe 7) French Flying wing kit 8) Graupner Adler von Ludbeck ( a boat partially built for 30 years with parts kit). I have fallen in love with a Parkzone Albatros DV, which I intend to buy and more importantly fly. It may be that not all the kits will be built. Hmm perhaps my New Years Resolution should be to build another kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area 51 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 You cant put these details into print !, if the Mrs was to find these.. more importantly print them off.. Crumbs.. I am already running a new 2012 incentive with the ruling Junta... its a new handbag for ANY new models that arrive.. lucky they are posted to my pal.. night time manoeuvres ensures they arrive without appearing on anyones radar.. garage, into a cupboard.. then loft when she is off the premises.. Graupner HE111... go on then.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have tried to send you a personal message, but cannot get it work. I do not think it came with a plan (it is a few years since I last looked at it). I did once trace out the parts but have now lost the drawings. The other thing is, it is small in being about 50" span. You are welcome to come round and copy the bits, as I think you are in Bury or Rawtenstall, I am in South Manchester.

Alan Cantwell Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 thats a shame, i do have a plan, but its for its brother the coverite radial version, mine is a twice sized blow up of yours, i wanted the inline version plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Jones Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I've put 4, 2 are untouched and two are kits started by someone else but untouched by me. If the same question had been asked a few weeks ago it would have been 6 though. I've been busy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erfolg Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I guess you are saying there was a follow up model to the kit I have. It surprises me that the radial version has a plan, where I thought my own did not come with one. I will have a look tomorrow, to be sure.

Alan Cantwell Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 yes, your came with one, i had a PDF of it before my last computer died, wish i had printed it out, or backed it to disk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 35 unstarted at the last count. At least another 24 models. kits already started or being refurbished, but yet to fly. Edited By leccyflyer on 23/03/2012 19:05:35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy watson Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have 1. I did have 2, but the bipablast is almost finished. The other is another auction special- not inspirational but too cheap to pass up! I am like Peter- don't start the next one till the current one is finished, otherwise I would have a dozen half built ones. Now, I'm glad you didn't mention plans that I intend to build- that would be a bigger list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Racer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 5 kits. Tony Nijhuis Mossie and Hurricane, 90mm Super Sniper EDF. 1/4 scale Balsa USA Nieuport 11, Great planes Pete and Poke 40. + an almost finished Balsa USA 1/6 scale Bristol M1c. Bristol will be done by June and Nieuport finished for next spring. After that?? ones of the others, unless they get sidelined by something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob T Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I only have 2 flying kits but I do have over 100 plastic kits waiting for my retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 2 trad projects. Mini Tyro and Wilga. Didn't have too much time to have a fun and build them, moreover have found all my ribs for MT and fuse for Wilga broken by kids... So now I have two unstarted planes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Five Westfield Models (Tony Nijhuis) Vampire House of Balsa .25 size P51D Sig 1/4 scale Spacewalker A Spit with foam wings and some precut balsa bits in a plain brown box. Around 40" span, designed for electric, can't remember the manufacturers name except that it didn't ring any bells at all when I bought it at a swapmeet. Probably a now defunct cottage industry/"one man band" operation Profile Aerotech P47 The Spacewalker will definitely be a winter project sometime. The Vamp probably stands the best chance of being started soonest as a relatively quick build, just for the fun of it, once current projects are done. The other three, who knows...?

Bernard Dolinski Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 I'm fairly new so I don't have many planes for starters and money is short as a teenager. (I'm still paying off the first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Kearney Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I've only got 2 and they are both rubber powered, do they count? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger in Dubai Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I will not buy any more planes, I will not buy any more planes, i will not buy any more planes..............wow, look at that plane, OK, starting tomorrow, I will not buy any more planes, I will not buy any more planes Edited By Roger in Dubai on 26/03/2012 11:13:25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclicscooby Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Wish I could say more than NONE... But that's what i've got... I have only been flying for about 7 yrs, so haven't had the time (or money) to stash unmade boxes... I've got 2 aircraft that need fixing (The heli, just needs putting together, and I have all the bits for the Extra)) but I keep starting NEW projects, promising to fix them after, but inevitably I start another new thing instead...

Tony H Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have 6 completely untouched kits, but I will build a couple soon. Honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I put down none, which is true. I am assuming plans don’t count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn K Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I have one unstarted partial kit- the Webbit I bought for last years Charity Mass build. I will build it shortly - and update the Charity Mass build blog just to confuse everybody. Apart from that, I haven't actually bought a kit since a Gangster 52 in 1990.. and that is well and truly planted except for the undercarriage legs and wheels which just happen to be a perfect size for the 'coming along slowly Astro Hog 25' EDIT... Oops sorry -Just realised - that is not strictly true. I bought a Puppetteer kit about 6 years ago to get me back into flying - it took me 5 years to finish it.. still unflown Martyn Edited By Martyn K on 27/03/2012 15:33:37 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowerman Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Being a member of the bus-pass brigade I find that unstarted kits do not stay that way very long. I do however have a couple of completed models still not flown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swissflyer Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Well I answered 15-20 to this question as I am slowly modelling the types that my father flew from 1942 – 1984. With 27’000 hrs in his log books I am well stocked with Stearmans, Catalinas, Sunderlands. Anyone know a kit for a Hampden? I have a DC3 and a home brew BAC 1-11 that means I am looking out for a Vickers Viscount, Handley Page Dart Herald, HS Trident and more… Somewhere I read that between 1920-1930 000’s of different aircraft types were tried. Maybe my wife is lucky that father wasn’t born a bit earlier? Still it is an interesting chunk of aviation history Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
